The Metaphysical Dramas: Playing Against All Odds
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
This chapter discusses the ways in which Byron's trailblazing texts Manfred, Cain, and Heaven and Earth explore the limits of agonism, the traditional essence of dramatic conflict, pitching the quest for political liberty and intellectual freedom against the seemingly unassailable supremacy of assorted metaphysical powers and their authoritarian censure. Byron's three dramas interrogate the claim of all metaphysical hegemonies to moral authority. The plays disrupt moral closure and perform a radical revision of traditional ethics, demarcating the limits of authoritarianism's reach, and postulating the autonomy of innate individual ethics. Where the conservative critics of the age saw merely blasphemy, the twenty-first-century reader finds a complex philosophical challenge to orthodoxy's pretensions to moral power. These texts are poised between playful critiques of establishment rhetoric and revolutionary dissent that seeks to upend the status quo. Byron's challenge to metaphysics and its discontents thus represents a lasting affirmation of freedom, with profound philosophical and political resonances for our own increasingly out-of-joint times.
